Soaring above the garden are our winged friends who make Wave Hill a memorable place. In the daytime, songbirds sing their tunes and hawks take flight across the Hudson. By nightfall, owls take flight, casting their shadows underneath the moonlight. Whether it’s lounging on the lawn or joining in on our Evening Nature Encounters, catch a glimpse of our Bronx birds that call the gardens and woodlands their home!
